Dear Diary

August 22

Hey journal, today something really weird happened. Well I guess I wouldn't call it weird, just a first. I was at school today and I was in chemistry and Mrs. Hamner was telling us about a group project, we have to make a chemical reaction that is endothermic or exothermic, which reaction you depends on which she says your group gets. After Mrs. Hamner was finished telling us about our project she began to assign us partners. 

One of the only reasons I hate the class, is because she doesn't let us choose our partners, don't you think when you are doing, a possibly dangerous experiment, you should be doing it with someone you like, so I don't know, an "accident" doesn't happen. 

She doesn't see it my way though, she says, "It'll help you in the future, and that you need to get used to working with people you may not be comfortable with especially because you are seniors."

Well anyways, when she was assigning partners I prayed that I didn't get anyone I hated, I didn't need a friend just someone bearable. Well I got Zylin, a jock, a stupid jock, a childish, and stupid jock. I mean he was attractive, but that didn't mean I liked him, it just meant he had a pretty face.

Mrs. Hamner made us go to our groups, even though he had to come to me, I wasn't moving for a stupid jock. When he got to my table he revealed that he wasn't even paying attention during the lesson, and I had to explain to him that endothermic was when something absorbed energy, and that exothermic was when something released energy. 

After I explained that he said, "So you dating anyone?" in his deep but soft voice.

No I wasn't dating anyone but why did he care, "No does it matter?"

"Not really." Not really then why'd you ask?

I basically rolled my eyes to another planet then said, "So I was thinking that we just keep it simple we got assigned exothermic so let's just melt an ice cube and explain how when it changes from ice, to water, to steam, that it's releasing the energy into the air and heating up the surrounding area a little." I looked at him for a good minute expecting him to give his opinion on the subject before I finally just asked, "So does that work or not?" making sure to sound as annoyed as possible.

After another good thirty seconds he decided to reply, "Yeah that works, you have pretty eyes, and a nice voice you know that? Your clothes are cool too." first of all my eyes, were dark brown, nothing special. Second of all my voice wasn't to high, not too deep, nothing special, and my clothes well they were cool, but it was just a band shirt. So why was he complimenting me?  

We basically went through this routine for the rest of the hour, and honestly I wanted to kill myself. When the bell ring I basically sprinted out of class, waiting for my friends by my locker, which unfortunately was right outside of the class, by right outside the class I mean next to the door, I could see in the classroom still, and you know what I saw? 

I saw my friend, Astrid, cornered by the populars: Greg, Gina, Ilene, Oakland, and no other than Zylin. The poor girl was completely surrounded and couldn't escape, they weren't doing anything mean and she seemed fine so I wasn't going to step in, until she gave me the signal. Our signal was two snaps, and a tap on the side of your leg, we don't have to be crazy and loud about it, we just do it to were the other can tell.

A few minutes passed then she gave the signal, she made it seem very natural to I was impressed, I walked back into the science room and said, "Hey Astrid making new friends? That's fine but if we don't hurry we'll be late for band practice," with that they all turned around and stared at me, "what we're geeks so we're in band, and us being late to band practice is like you guys being late to basketball practice or like cheerleading practice, you know bad." after saying that they seemed to understand and scattered not saying another word. I walked up to Astrid, "What was that about?" I was so curious you could probably smell it.

"I'm honestly not that sure, well it was about you, but what about you I don't know." She looked so confused that her head would come off.

"Well what went down?" I said as we walked out of the room.

She made a hm face then while gathering her things from her locker said, "I was getting my things, and all the sudden I was surrounded. They started asking me a bunch of question about you, mainly about who you were dating and like stuff like that. Then they started asking like what you liked, then they were like are you two dating, what is your relationship with him? That's when I gave the signal, and you came to my rescue."

We were speed walking down the almost empty hallway hoping to get to class before the bell rang, "Weird why do you think that happened?"

"I don't know maybe one of them likes you." she joked.

We both laughed, "Yeah that makes total sense, probably why Zylin told me he like my hair, voice, eyes, and clothes." 

We both looked at each other and said, "Nah"

Then Astrid said, "Well everyone knows Greg is Bi, but I've heard that Zylin is gay, I thought it was only a mean rumour though."

"Of course it's a mean rumour." I said, as we walked into the band room the bell ringing as soon as we sat down, we gave each other a look of relief, everyone knew not to be late to band.

Yeah that's what happened to me today kind of weird, I'm just trying to figure out if this is a sick prank or if he really meant what he said, and also how does that make me feel? 

Kind of giddy I guess, I don't like him, but it is a nice thought that someone would like me. My feeling are perfectly normal I'm sure of it. And hey if he really does like me maybe I can use him to my advantage. 

Well journal thank you for listening and maybe next time I'll have answers.
